Aaaaaaaaaaah bless - he is adorable.

For once I have no sewing on the go and it feels strange.
I have just made 2 Sock Monkeys ^^^^^ (pics up there) for a friend. Cost at least £5 for materials, £1.62 postage, about 6 hours labour.

She has offered me £10.

I sell mine for £10 each, plus the postage. They aren't really something to make a lot of money on as they take over 3 hours and have a personalised message embroidered too, but they do sell. You have to ask a price that you think is fair - it won't reflect the amount of work put into them.

My Silly Nana is up for auction today. Feel like a hen hatching an egg!!

Someone has asked me to do a Sock Elephant. Has anyone made one?

Gave it a try, but not really happy

nuttybabe
